[0042] The electric pole climbing device provided by this utility model can be applied to power maintenance scenarios, especially for pole-mounted operations such as installing crossarms, insulators, and isolating switches. The following is a detailed description of the implementation method:
[0043] Example 1
[0044] Please refer to Figure 1An electric pole climbing device includes a pole climbing mechanism 1 and foot catches 2. The pole climbing mechanism 1 includes a pole climbing assembly 11 and a support assembly 12. The first end of the pole climbing assembly 11 forms a pole climbing area for detachable engagement with the pole. The second end of the pole climbing assembly 11 is connected to the support assembly 12. The pole climbing assembly 11 includes a motor 111, which drives the pole climbing assembly 11 to automatically climb the pole. The bottom of the support assembly 12 is provided with clearance space so that the operator can assemble the foot catches 2. The support assembly 12 is connected to the climbing pole assembly 11 at one end, where a control console 121 is provided. The control console 121 is equipped with a control button 122, which is connected to a motor 111. The motor 111 can be connected to a roller component 113 via a transmission assembly such as a track, thereby driving the roller component 113 to move and achieve the climbing pole operation. Alternatively, the motor can be controlled remotely. For example, after the device is installed on the pole, the device can be tested remotely to ensure that the device is working properly before the operator goes up to the device to work. The support assembly 12 also includes a seat component 123 and a connecting component 124. One end of the connecting component 124 is connected to the control console 121. The end of the connecting component 124 away from the control console 121 is connected to the seat component 123. At the same time, protective bars 125 are provided around the seat component 123.
[0045] The pole climbing assembly 11 includes two parallel support members 112; two sets of rollers 113 are spaced apart between the two support members 112; the two sets of rollers 113 are perpendicular to the support members 112; the support members 112 and the rollers 113 form a pole climbing area; at the same time, the support members 112 and the rollers 113 are detachable, for example, the support members 112 can be set at the pole position, and then the rollers 113 can be set on the pole climbing assembly 11 to form the pole climbing area; Figure 1 As shown, the support member 112 and the roller member 113 form a rectangular climbing pole area, allowing the roller member 113 to fit against the surface of the pole. Each roller member 113 is equipped with at least one tire, the material of which can be determined according to the material of the pole, so that appropriate friction is generated between the tire and the pole. The end of the support member 112 away from the roller member 113 is connected to the support assembly 12. Simultaneously, multiple sets of parallel climbing pole assemblies 11 can be set according to different needs; for example, two or three sets of climbing pole assemblies 11 arranged side by side at the same height can be set, with multiple sets of climbing pole assemblies 11 working together to climb the pole.
[0046] The spacing between the two sets of rollers 113 is adjustable. For example, in one optional embodiment, the end of the support member 112 with the rollers 113 is telescopic, thus accommodating poles of different sizes. In another optional embodiment, the end of the support member 112 with the rollers 113 is provided with a latch 114. Simultaneously, the climbing pole assembly 11 tilts downwards towards the side where the support assembly 12 is located, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this forms a gripping angle α.
[0047] The foot catch 2 includes a climbing part 21 and a wearing part 22; one end of the climbing part 21 is used for detachable engagement with the pole; the other end of the climbing part 21 is connected to the wearing part 22; the wearing part 22 is for workers to wear. For example, one end of the climbing part 21 can be rotatably connected to the wearing part 22, thereby achieving detachable engagement of the climbing part 21 with the pole by rotating the climbing part 21.
[0048] The operating principle of the above-mentioned electric pole climbing device is as follows:
[0049] The electric pole climbing device consists of two parts: a seating section and a foot strap section 2. The two parts are used together. After the pole climbing assembly 11 is installed on the pole, the operator can sit on the seating section 123, and the operator's feet can extend and step on the foot straps 2. When a worker sits on the device, a downward pressure is generated, causing the climbing pole assembly 11 to tilt downwards towards the side where the support assembly 12 is located, thus stabilizing the device on the pole. Then, by activating the control button 122 on the control console 121, the motor 111 drives the roller assembly 113 to move upwards along the pole. During this upward movement, due to the segmented fasteners 114 on the support assembly 112 and the gradually tapering pole from bottom to top, the fasteners 114 automatically extend and retract during the upward movement, bringing the climbing pole assembly 11 into contact with the pole, ensuring the device is securely fixed. Simultaneously, foot straps 2 provide double protection for the worker during the climbing process, ensuring their safety. Descending is accomplished by the motor 111 driving the roller assembly 113 downwards along the pole.

Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
